Yeap, Mangini is this years version of Chad. You watch, some team will hire Mangini as their head coach and he will be the coach of the year. That's the way it goes as a Jet. Whatever we do, we fail
Personally , I don't think Mangina will ever get another HC job in the NFL. I am sure his involvement in the whole spygate thing will have scarred him from consideration to many organizations , and his record basically speaks for itself, losing a playoff caliber team down the stretch, no in game adjustments and some pretty poor use of talent. He probably never belonged getting a HC job in the first place.
And overnight, he'll start showing guts and start going for it on 4th and 27 after three consecutive sacks.
Another team utilizing him correctly? Its tough for upper management to utilize a coach correctly. A player is different. The Fins gave Chad his 1st OC back and Parcells and a CS that knew what to do - run a confusing college offense because beating you straight up is impossible. Not just Chad, but the whole dolphins team.
I've heard this a lot, but I'm not sure I agree. I don't believe the rest of the NFL buys into this whole pats perception of Mangini as a "rat". He caught the pats red-handed cheating to gain a competitive advantage over his team. Was he expected to remain quiet and allow it to continue out of some misguided loyalty to his former mentor? It's irrelevant whether he took part in the practice himself when he was in NE. He should be forgiven for not sitting idly by while his rival cheats to gain an advantage over his team.
Heh! I agree with that sentiment, which is why I found it funny hearing an ESPN radio update anchor give the usual "out of town" spiel of "apparantly having a winning season is no longer a guarantee for keeping your job" when talking about the firing. Why do so many anchors feel the need to "editorialize?" It makes them sound so dumb, but that is a story for a different thread.
Mangini is young enough where the spygate stuff will be forgotten if he has success as a coordinator which I think he will. It may take time to get hired but who knows? maybe there's an opening in Oakland, Al Davis would love him.
Mangini might do well down the road? I think he did a good job the first year comming in behind a players coach who ran a country club and reestablishing some discipline. There is a big difference in reestablishing descipline and outthinking 32 HC every week and keeping the team focused on basic execution over a long season, especially a veteran team like this one. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Mangini got another job quickly. Hell he might even replace Herm in KC?
I know it was a joke and it was a good one but I would take 7 SB losses over never seeing my team make it.
